Sydd Posted August 30, 2017 Posted August 30, 2017 And slightly off topic. Movistar are starting a Ladies Team..this is great news.. Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk This is awesome, and deserves it's own thread in which we cheer and clap :-) In all seriousness, I hope that conditions become more favourable in terms of the racing opportunities and publicity given to women's racing, so that sponsors feel secure enough to invest in women's cycling.

T-Bob Posted August 30, 2017 Posted August 30, 2017 LIZZE ARMINSTEAD!! Could you imagine. Now there is a racer the would spearhead and fulfil the Sky ethos... but for the fact. She's female. Pure Savage 1
Gen Posted August 30, 2017 Posted August 30, 2017 Damn right. Now let's see Sky get their thumb out of their 'hub' and deliver on that promise as well. Jeez, I wonder if they couldn't have funded one with what they spent on that oversized mobile clubhouse that they are now driving around europe.More and more men's teams have started ladies teams..FDJ also started one this year..it's really great... whish they would make it a requirement for WT teams..

Pure Savage Posted August 30, 2017 Posted August 30, 2017 She got married..................... DeignanI could not even spell her maiden name. Cannondale cannot get a sponsor and some can sponsor a men and womans team, intersting sport. Long Wheel Base, T-Bob and Gen 3

Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk Its a strange one when the organiser and TV rights holders dont use that money to pay the salaries of those taking part. if people stop taking part you dont have anything to broadcast.

T-Bob Posted August 30, 2017 Posted August 30, 2017 (edited) .......and they all get paid peanuts in comparison to golf, tennis and football etc... very interesting sport When they get paid. The stats from last year on wages and teams defaulting paying riders in the female side of the sport was insane. Edited August 30, 2017 by hellocolour
Cav' Posted September 18, 2017 Author Posted September 18, 2017 (edited) Cannondale are down 9 riders after their sponsorship conundrum. They'll have to sign some talent as EF otherwise there will be a Lot of pressure on Uran and Sep to perform in 2018. Edited September 18, 2017 by Cav'
J Wakefield Posted September 18, 2017 Posted September 18, 2017 Brambilla from QS to Trek.Thats a really good move for both. Gen 1
